The food, the vibe and the servers were outstanding and the price was incredible! Do not miss this spot!
My friends had the jerk ribs and were in heaven and I chose the Curry shrimp and the sauce it came with was the best 🙂
Let's See What Our Customers Think!
I love this place and highly recommend! Food is so delicious!!! Also, staff is very friendly, and they have a TV where they play some local music videos. Hotep Shine music is great! Food is life changing good, I kid you not. Gotta try it! Beautiful ocean side location, too!
Very nice laid back bar, with great food! The chicken wings were honestly the best I had the whole trip. Fall off the bone chicken, I inhaled the entire serving! The girls loved the Johnny cakes as well. The owner was very friendly, we sat and chatted with him for both times we were there. He makes one delicious Rumrunner! Also got us hooked on the Island rum, we ended up buying a bottle before leaving. We will be back to this spot on our next trip.
Loved our time at Layback! My bf and I stopped by after sunset. The food and drinks were AMAZING! We ordered conch fritters, grilled red snapper, and the fried red snapper. Fish was very very fresh and tasty. For drinks we ordered three frozen drinks but I don’t remember which ones. They were all amazing and hit the way you’d want a drink on the beach to feel 😁. We would go back if we had more time on the island. Service was great. Our waiter was serving all the other tables. He checked on us multiple times and asked if we needed more drinks, napkins, sauce etc. all night. One thing to note is the atmosphere - the restaurant faces the beach and a pier. There was loud music (rap, reggae, other styles you’d expect from a Carribean island) playing alongside the shore which my bf and I enjoyed - we would come back specifically for this.
